Doctor Who: The Wings of Gallifrey
By Samantha Jane West-Croft
Information: Elincia of Gallifrey was the childhood friend of the Doctor and the Master, but what happens if she is taking care of the Master while he is recovering from fighting the President Rassilon and trying to cure him of the brink of death? Reference to Past Doctor x OC x Master, now JackxOCxMaster (May change description later on)
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor who, I do however own Elincia. She is the creation of being bored I also do not own the creatures known as the Angelxon; they were created by my friend and editor Lady Nightlord. I also made a few changes to the Angelxon society of my own, i hope that its' all right.
Chapter Eight Who's Crying Now?
Elincia sat up on her bed, she had cried until she had no more tears left. How could the Doctor mention the past? She had asked for forgiveness but he had turned her down. She stood up and went to the bathroom. She stepped out of her robes and into the hot shower. The water felt good on her stiff muscles and puffy raw face.
The bedroom door opened and suddenly the Master was standing in front of Elincia. He was still wearing his clothes as the hot water beat on him. "Lin, I'm sorry."
Elincia stood there with her arms folded over her chest, having felt moderately violated. "You could have knocked."
"You wouldn't have heard me. I know what happened between you and Theta, I am sorry…and I…I forgive you."
Elincia dropped her arms and her eyes widened. "You're forgiving me? I thought the Master never forgave anyone or asked for forgiveness."
"I am forgiving you, in the name of our childhood friendship." The Master started to reach forward to touch her cheeks but then noticed she was naked. "Oh my gods, I'm so sorry!" He scrambled out of the shower, knowing full well she might have tried to kill him for doing that.
She forced back the giggles she felt coming to her throat. "There's a towel or two in my bedroom, don't get too much wet." She heard him walk out and close the door. She sat down on the floor of the shower and felt a smile grace her lips.
…
The Master walked out of his bedroom rubbing his hair with the towel and picking at the dry clothes he now wore. He could tell that the Doctor was going to be mad at him for something today. No matter what it was he was going to make sure that Elincia had a good day. The Doctor stood with his back against the wall. "So, you talked to Elincia today?"
"She needed comforting after what you put her through last night." The Master stated while glaring at his childhood friend. "She cried all night long."
"We cried for months."
"I went completely insane." The Master stated while tilting his head to one side. "Doesn't mean I won't forgive her for the pain she caused me."
…
Amelia walked into Elincia's room while the Master and the Doctor were arguing with each other. The Time Lady was wearing a black tube top mid-drift with skinny black jeans and knee high combat boots. "How are you feeling?"
"Better, but not great, thanks for the concern Amy."
Amelia smiled, finally Elincia had called her by her name and not 'little one' or 'little human'. "I know something that might cheer you up…it's called chocolate ice cream." Amelia took hold of Elincia's hand and dragged her to the kitchens. She rummaged through the 'fridge' and found the tub of chocolate ice cream. She grabbed two spoons and they began to devour the ice cream. "I know what happened last night between you and the Doctor. Could you tell me the back story to it all?"
"I would rather not. But seeing as you will have to put up with us three; it all started back at the Academy's so called by your race 'graduation'."
…
Elincia stood next to Theta and Koschei as their parents hugged each of them. Theta pulled Elincia away from everyone else and took hold of both of her hands. "Cia, I wanted to ask you something…I'm not really sure how to ask you this but I guess I can get to the point. Will you marry me?"
Elincia stood there stunned by one of her best friends. She could not answer him, not right away so she had asked for some time. Around lunch Koschei had asked her to join him for a while. He had asked the same question. She was overwhelmed. Fear had encroached upon her mind and she quickly thought of a way to escape answering the questions. Running away was the best option for a while. After all she was going to pursue becoming a Lawyer and Politician of Gallifrey so they would hate her for that anyways.
She wrote a note and left it on her bedroom door. How she had come to hate herself this badly was going to affect her for the rest of her life and she knew it.
…
Amelia stared at Elincia. "You were frightened; I think anyone with half a brain would understand that."
"Not the Doctor, we had dated for a while in the Academy but I…I had said that I wanted time to think about my future so we broke it off. Neither of them knew I was going to go and become a politician." Elincia forced a smile then took another bite of the ice cream.
"They hate politicians I take it?"
"The Doctor actually was Time Lord President for some time, but by then he had been married and had children, actually a granddaughter as well." Elincia smiled softly. "I think I'm the only one of our group who never married or had children."
"Wow, that's weird, I would have thought you would be the first one to have a child or been married."
"That's usually how it works but I guess I was different from everyone else." Elincia got up from the table and thought to herself for a second. "Where's the pool, I'm up for a swim."
…
Elincia dived into the water with a soft splash and Amelia smiled. She had cheered the Time Lady up as much as she could but now the Doctor had a lot of explaining to do. "Come in, the water's great Amy!"
Amelia took off her clothes, changed into a swimming suit and jumped in after Elincia. Elincia had been correct; it was warm but cool at the same time. When Amelia looked around for Elincia the Time Lady was not there. "Elincia,"
"Right behind you," Elincia said calmly while dropping a handful of water on the young human's head. "Thank you Amy, I think you're the first friend I've had that understands me for being me."
Amelia smiled and began floating on her back. "You're welcome…I have a question Elincia."
"What is it?"
"Would you have married one of them?"
Elincia floated with her head touching Amelia's. she had been asking herself the same question for centuries. "I might have, I just don't think it would have been the Doctor."
